hello guys, I can't change my boot loader from systemd to grub in nixos and have the following errors

Please provide more information about your systems:

  • filesystem layouts
  • NixOS configuration for GRUB
  • UEFI/legacy?
  • and your NixOS metadata please.

I will repeat the same question.

I ran into this when accidentally trying to deploy to host A a configuration for host B. The GRUB device/partition in the error indeed did not exist on host A.
